Detail

Type Required

Type: String
Explanation: The type of the component which has to be Text

Text Required

Type:String
Explanation: The text which will be displayed as content.

Since Octory 3.1.0, the text is rendered as Markdown. The following is supported:

• headings, with one to six leading # characters
• **bold** and _italic_
• `code`
• bulleted and numbered lists
• links, written [label](https://example.com)

info

The styles come from the component's TextFontConfiguration: a heading is drawn larger and heavier than the body text, relative to the font you configured, so a text component keeps following your font styles.

Plain text without any Markdown syntax is displayed exactly as before, so existing configurations are unaffected. To show a character that Markdown would interpret, escape it with a backslash, for example \*.
